I had an issue where System.currentTimeMillis() was a bad seed when a few tests were running in parallel. I want to override the random to use nanoTime().

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Add null validation:
Assert.notNull(random, "'random' must not be null");

While I understand your problem, having mutable static state which affect behaviour of static methods is very dangerous from an architectural point of view. Any code could call |

Instead of making the private static final Random random = new Random(System.nanoTime());Would that suit your needs? |

Instead of making the Random instance configurable, we are rather
considering instantiating it as follows.

Prior to this commit, SocketUtils used System.currentTimeMillis() for the seed for the java.util.Random instance used internally. The use of the milliseconds value returned by currentTimeMillis() can lead to collisions for randomly selected free ports for tests executing in parallel on the same computer. This commit therefore switches to System.nanoTime() for the Random seed used in SocketUtils in an attempt to avoid such collisions for tests executing in parallel in different JVMs on the same computer. Closes spring-projectsgh-25321

I had an issue where
System.currentTimeMillis()was a bad seed when a few tests were running in parallel. I want to be able to override the random to usenanoTime().
